If not this, then: Chevrolet Volt, Hyundai Ioniq
Another $1,700 for the Premium trim level adds an 11.6-inch touchscreen for a center-dashboard display. Over time, the car's computer will learn your driving routine and adjust to maximize fuel efficiency to it, also. Or you can let the car cycle automatically through EV and hybrid modes, using what's best for the speed and terrain. Letting the gas engine work in tandem with the dual electric motors blows your range up to 640 miles. That's not far compared to the range of modern pure EVs like the Chevy Bolt or a Tesla, but it's enough to get you to a recharging station at work or a shopping center.Ī typical 240V charger will take the battery from zero to full in 130 minutes. You can give the gas engine a rest and go electric-only for 25 miles. The Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid-in other words, a gas-electric car that you can also plug into home and public recharging stations, and even a standard wall outlet (for slower charging). Other times it just holds it in its mouth for a while. MPG: 55 city/53 highway in hybrid mode, 133 in electric-only mode.
